Working in a foreign country could have its difficulties.  These difficulties could change if you are there for a short term assignment as compared to long term assignment.

· Select a foreign country where you would like to work. List at least 3 concerns that you have of living and working in that culture.

· List 3 reasons why you think it would be beneficial to work in that country.

· Would any of these benefits or concerns change the way you work when you return to a position in the United States?
